TAILIEUCHUNG - Use Pencil Hardness to Your Advantage

When starting the preliminary drawings for any project it is best to keep the lines light and sketchy. A 2H pencil hardness is ideal for this. This is one thing I have definitely learned over the years that has greatly impacted my design and the process of which I work.

When I was in high school there was a fellow artist s work that I admired for the skill and and overall style his pieces possessed. While watching him work one day I noticed he only used two or maybe three different pencils on his pieces a 2B pencil and an Ebony pencil.

For a little reference your standard school pencil is HB. 9H 8H . 2H H F HB B 2B . 8B 9B He did his preliminary sketches using a mechanical pencil with 2B lead. I used this technique for quite a while as I had always heard that A 2B pencil is great for any job.
